Quotemeal: Apr. 6th, 1954

"In any museum we will find quite ordinary things - clothes, a walking stick, a pen, pieces of furniture - which are only of value because they were possessed and used by some great person.

The greatness of the Christian lies in the fact that he is God's."
— William Barclay
